I have always wanted to learn to dive in the tropics so I discovered this remote paradise Koh Phra Thong. Chris and Helen organised the whole diving holiday from the air-conditioned taxi transfer to and from Phuket airport to the longboat trip to the island and the awesome accommodation, food and service at Golden Buddha Beach Resort. I was greeted... More

Chris, his family and staff are some of the best people in the best location in all of Thailand. If you want to do some real diving away from the masses these are the people to speak with. S Blyth More

We stayed 8 days at the Golden Buddha beach resort in Feb 2011 on Koh Phra Thong where Blue Guru is based. The resort itself is splendid, quiet, service is impeccable, the houses are beautiful and comfortable, food is delicious... There is also 10 kilometers of beach with no one in sight. We had picked Golden Buddha and Blue Guru... More

Following a bad experience I find it therapeutic & easy to write a review, whereas motivating myself to give credit where credit is due is far harder. So, it takes a special place for me to put finger to keyboard & Blue Guru is just such a place. Blue Guru is based on a beautiful island, a short boat ride... More

Its off the beaten track, thats the highlight. You are closer to the dives sites! Blue Guru organise your diving, snorkelling, trekking, and sea kayaking. Wildlife above and below the sea level is there. I was pleasantly surprised how much I saw from the sea kayak. Novice or expert diver, the safety, guidance, options, fun and frequency is all there.... More

My husband, sister and brother in law and I all visited Golden Buddha Island recently and had a wonderful experience diving with Blue Guru. We booked this entire portion of our trip in advance and things couldn't have gone more smoothly. First, Chris was amazing at helping us organize while we were still in the US. He went above and...

We had a fantastic four days/nights at Golden Buddah (7-11 Dec 2010). Our house was lovely, great view and little library, water, kettle & hob were nice touches. Bed wasn't a problem for us (as reported in other reviews). We really like beach house/hut type holidays and have stayed in similar places in Thailand, India, Philippines etc This is the... More

My girlfriend I stayed at Koh Phra Thong at the beginning of April. Helen at Blue Guru did a great job of organising a Surin Islands snorkelling trip for us and even though there were only two of us from the island on the trip she managed to get the speedboat from Khuraburi to come and pick us up from...

Blue Guru Dive Centre services now located to Golden Buddha Resort on Koh Prang Thong Island was big disappointment. We had booked and paid snorkeling trip to Surin a month prior to the travel as requested and informed Blue Guru on the dates staying on the island and prereffed days for snorkeling. Once we arrived to the island it seemed... More

We would like to apologise to the guests for the cancelled trip to Surin Islands. This was absolutely beyond our control. We hire a speedboat for this trip and we were informed the night before the trip that the speedboat was broken. The alternative speedboats were in use in this instance. Once we have committed to a trip we NEVER... More
